Open Cup tickets cover the 2026 knockout, which features 60 clubs from Major League Soccer down to amateur level, including Columbus Crew and St. Louis CITY SC.

Clubs Involved This Season

The 2026 U.S. Open Cup features 60 clubs drawn from across American professional and amateur football, including Columbus Crew and St. Louis CITY SC. The wider entry list features Chicago Fire FC, Houston Dynamo FC, New England Revolution, Colorado Rapids, Orlando City SC, Atlanta United FC, Austin FC and Charlotte FC alongside clubs from outside the top division such as ASC New Stars, AV Alta FC, Asheville City SC, Azteca FC, BOHFS St. Louis, CD Faialense, Carolina Core FC and Charleston Battery.

This spread of clubs, from established Major League Soccer sides to smaller amateur and lower-division teams, is a feature of the U.S. Open Cup's open entry format for the season.

Venues in This Season's Competition

Stadiums associated with this year's competition include ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus, Ohio, and Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado. Match venues can range from purpose-built professional stadiums to smaller grounds depending on which clubs are drawn together at each stage of the competition.

Grounds used across the tournament vary considerably in size and character, reflecting the range of clubs, from Major League Soccer sides down to smaller amateur outfits, taking part in any given season.

How the Competition Progresses

The U.S. Open Cup runs as a knockout, with clubs eliminated after a single defeat at each stage. The tournament's later stages have their own dedicated pages: Semi-Finals and Final, where the two remaining clubs from each half of the draw meet on the way to deciding the season's winner.

Further fixtures beyond the one currently listed will be added as the draw for subsequent rounds is confirmed, with clubs progressing on a single-match basis rather than over two legs.

Following the Draw Through the Season

Because this season's competition spans clubs at very different levels, from full-time professional sides to amateur teams, fixtures can vary widely in scale from one round to the next. Following the draw as later rounds are confirmed gives a clearer picture of which clubs remain in contention.

What the Draw Includes

Alongside Major League Soccer clubs, this season's 60-strong entry list includes a broad mix of lower-division and amateur clubs from across the country, giving the competition a wider field than a typical top-flight schedule. That range is reflected in the venues used across the season, from major professional stadiums to smaller local grounds.

Comparing Prices Across Partners

Prices for the fixture listed above, and for matches later in the competition, can be compared across StubHub, Viagogo, Hellotickets, Football Ticket Net, Gigsberg and SportsEvents365. Comparing listings across all six partners makes it easier to see how prices for a confirmed fixture compare before deciding where to buy.

With only one match currently scheduled, availability for that particular fixture may be more limited than once further rounds bring additional games onto the calendar, spreading demand across a wider set of venues and clubs.

Spectators attending any of these grounds across the season, whether a major stadium or a smaller local venue, should check seating and access details for that specific fixture, since conditions vary considerably from one ground to the next. Checking details in good time for a chosen venue can help avoid any last-minute surprises on the day.
